Kyu Grading Success with Sensei Adel Ismail

Colchester JKA Karate Club welcomed JKA England’s technical committee member, Sensei Adel Ismail (5th Dan JKA) to the winter grading at St Benedict’s College recently.

Students that attended the brown and black belt class were trained in kata, the second class was even more popular, students filled the whole hall.

This was our biggest ever grading and we were honoured to have the experience of Sensei Adel visit our club again, the atmosphere at the classes was amazing. Jaz Eaton and Matteo Zambon did exceptionally well, Jaz double-graded and Matteo triple-graded.
